China Demands from Canada Immediate Release of Huawei Executive

Beijing, Dec 6 (Prensa Latina) China on Thursday demanded the immediate release of Wanzhou Meng, financial manager of technology giant Huawei, and expressed opposition to the arrest it considers arbitrary because the executive did not violate any law in that country.

'We will closely follow the development of this case and will take measures to resolutely protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese citizens,' the government said in a statement issued through its embassy in Ottawa.

He indicated that Wanzhou was arrested at the request of the United States, but never infringed laws neither US nor Canadian.

'China strongly opposes and vigorously protests this action that has seriously damaged the victim's human rights (...) We urge this mistake to be corrected immediately and Ms. Wanzhou Meng be released,' the statement stresses.

The 46-year-old Huawei executive, daughter of the founder of the firm, was arrested in Vancouver on December 1 at the request of Washington under the alleged charge of violating the sanctions imposed on Iran, the Ministry of Justice from Canada.

Tomorrow, a court will determine in a hearing if she is granted bail while his extradition to the United States is decided.

This Thursday the company has emphasized that it complies with all the laws and regulations of countries where it operates and denied accusations against its financial manager.

It denounced little information has been offered about the charges against Wanzhou, after exhorting the Canadian and US legal systems to reach 'a just conclusion'.

It is expected that the case will not have a negative impact on the truce agreed between the United States and China to resolve the differences in trade and other fronts that in recent months tensed bilateral relations to alarming levels.
